Murray: Fed has 'lost a little bit'...

Andy Murray has suggested record grand slam-winner Roger Federer is showing signs he is on the decline.

Federer, who turned 29 earlier this month, has won 16 grand slam titles with the most recent of those a straight-sets success over Murray at the Australian Open in January. Murray does, however, have a winning record against the Swiss and beat Federer in straight sets last weekend to win the Toronto Masters.

"He's always very tough to beat," Murray told The Guardian. "It's just that, because of how good he was in every tournament three or four years ago - and it's very difficult to be that consistent throughout your whole career... it's normal that he's lost a little bit the last few years."

Federer's Toronto Masters defeat followed the Swiss slipping outside the top-two ranked players for the first time in seven years after he failed to reach the semi-finals at Wimbledon for the first time since 2002.

=====================================



A little more profit for the day with a late run of winners. I didn't get caught out by Jankovic either as that match didn't qualify but I expect many people are seething after her performance.

I didn't see it so can't comment on her effort but she should have beaten Benesova without too many problems in a tournament like this.

The balance is now at £273.25
